While Blogs are a great source of information for us all to utilise there is a growing trend on Wamp for threads simply linking to Blogs without adding to the content on Wamp itself. Some of these are a direct attempt to drive traffic to that Blog. We would encourage you to share content directly on Wamp itself (and include a link in your signature) but we understand this isn't always wanted by the blog author. We would therefore ask that if you are posting content that requires readers to go to another website or Blog that you post it in the links section of the forum. Blogs hosted on Wamp are excluded of course! We hope you understand. If you have any issues please contact Darklord

Darklands Painting Contest 2013

Do you guys need an excuse to paint fantastically sculpted miniatures? No I thought not! BUt heres one anyway!

Wamp has teamed up with Mierce Miniatures once again to present to you the Darklands Painting Contest 2013. We have some great prizes lined up for our worthy winners and we are even going to give you stuff just for entering!

Darklands is based around 30mm scale resin miniatures ranging from muscle bulging men to huge demonic monsters and everything in between. they are superb quality in both sculpting and casting terms and a firm favourite with some of the world's best painters.

The contest is open to all things Darklands and we have several categories for you to challenge for.

Deadline:
Closing date for entries will be 23rd September 2013 6pm (British Time)

(supporters deadline will be 30th September 2013 6pm (British Time)

Categories:

Single figure: Any single infantry or monstrous infantry (Human, Gabrax, Troll, Gorgonares, Dyndraig, Hydrar etc) miniature from the Darklands game system.

Judging:
Winners will be decided by Mierce Miniatures
Judging will be carried out by Mierce Miniatures staff. We will be judging on not only technical ability but also adherence to the setting of Darklands (which is based in North-West Europe during the Dark Ages with a dark-fantasy twist). For example you can give your Tarvax machine guns if you want to, but would lose pts on theme.

You may use Darklands bases or indeed build your own plinth/diorama scenery type bases. Either is fine.

Rules:

(please read them, its amazing how many dont!!)

You must be a Wamp Member to participate. Membership is free and you may register here.

You may enter as many times as you like but each entry may only submit one photograph so if you need more angles it MUST be a montage.

Images must be no larger than 1000 pixels wide by 4000 pixels high. (It is your responsibility to check this).

any additional photographs of that entry will be removed.

All entries must be new work. (New work is defined as any entry not previously displayed on-line in a completed state (You MAY enter pieces which have been shown as a Work In Progress (WIP)).

You give Wamp and Mierce Miniatures permission to use your pictures for publicity (but you do retain ownership).

You may post pictures of WIP or final shots both here and elsewhere.

Judging will be decided by public vote.

Submissions must be posted to the contest gallery You must make sure you select the correct contest option (Hasslefree 2013) in the contest select box either during upload (if using the basic uploader) or via edit pictures after upload

Only Darklands Miniatures are eligible

Prizes are awarded for your own personal use. They must not be sold on. Any winner found to be doing so will immediately forfeit any further prize due and will be banned from future Wamp contests. (This rule is in place to protect Mierce Miniatures own sales)

You may only enter your own original work. Not a miniature you have had or painted on commission.

Miniatures may be converted, but must be inherently recognisable as an original Darklands miniature.
